About This Listing

  • Vintage 1953 Gibson L4-C Serial Number A-13768
  • This guitar was made at the Kalamazoo MI Plant at 225 Parsons St.
  • The guitar itself is in fine condition for its age.
  • It appears to have original frets, tailpiece and truss rod cover.
  • Schatten pickup system was installed with endpin jack. Sounds great. Excellent for acoustic or jazz sounds but also very useable for creamy distortion with some real vintage crunchiness.
  • There appears to be a banged up area on lower bout side but only cosmetic. Totally sound.
  • Keep in mind this thing is old so it's seen plenty I'm sure but it's totally intact and plays great.
  • Will be professionally packed properly and shipped insured.
